. Vehicular entrances are gated and locked during non-operatinghours.

The off site administrative office provides record keep¡ng and filing space.The recycling facility consists of a 50' x 100' steel building with a concretetipping floor. Areas are designated for material discharge, storage and atrailer loading area. Access inside is maintained at all times for fireprotection via a lockbox located at the main gate.

3.02(f ). lncoming Traffic - Loading

lncoming collection vehicles enter the facility from lndustrial ParkRoad, off Route 12 via a gravel entrance. Vehicles back up intothe recycling building onto the concrete tipping floor where theydischarge their loads. After discharge vehicles leave the buildingthrough the same door and exit the site back to lndustrial Drive.

3.02(21. Outbou nd Traffic

3.02(2)(a).Non-recyclables

Empty open-top transfer trailers enter the site via the mainentrance. The driver backs up to the loading tunnel (lowerslab of building), where the roll off dumpster is loaded. Theythen proceed to the facility entrance/exit onto lndustrial Driveand back onto Route 12.

On occasion, it may be necessary to temporarily store aloaded trailer in the staging area or loading tunnel beforebeing transported off site. While unusual, storage may beover night, but in no instance will the staging period exceedone week.

3.02(2Xb). Recvclables

Empty roll off containers are generally filled with recyclablemater¡al and covered before being transported to end usersor secondary material markets.

3.02(2)(c). Municipal Solid Waste

over the weekenci, but ìn r¡o instance will the stagirrg periodexceed 72 hours.

3.03. Materials Acceptance, lnspection and rejection procedures

Each customer is required to provide information regarding the type andsource of recyclables, non-recyclables, and MSW brought to the facility. Asign posted at the entrance to the facility lists prohibited waste.

Upon arrival at the siie, the information is collected per section 3.4 below bythe attendant. Should any wastes arrive from out of State, the attendantdetermines whether there are public benefits as defined by section405.04(1) below. Finally, he categorizes the type of materials into either:non-accepted materials, construction/demolition debris, recycfables, orI\ISW,

Once information has been taken, the vehicles are turned and backed intothe building where the load ís tipped onto the concrete floor. The material isvisually inspected; metal, concrete, wood and other recyclable/re-usablematerials that are appropriate for recovery are separated by hand and/or byuse of wheefed heavy operating equipment, such as a Bobcat or front endloader (herein after, a WFL).

The non-recyclables are pushed to the rear of the building by a WFL to clearthe floor for the next load. An opentop transfer trailer is positioned in theloading tunnel to receive non-recyclable materials as it accumulates. Thetrailer is top loaded and material compacted as necessary by a WFL. Whenthe trailer is full, it is secured and removed from the tunnel for transfer per3.02(2)(a) above.

Facility operators have been trained to identify and properly managematerials not meeting facility acceptance requirements. The process used tomanage unauthorized material is described in Section 6.1.6.

3.04. lncoming Materials Quantity and Source Determination

The facility uses cubic yard measure to determine all incoming vehicleshauling either recyclables, non-recyclables, or MSW. The following isrecorded for each load: cubic yards, generator name and address, haulername and address, truck number or license number, type of recyclable ornon-recyclable material, date and time.

The attendant logs this information into the facility's tracking and billingsystem and prints a ticket for the load, which in turn, is signed by the vehicledriver. The driver retains the signed original; the facility retains a copy for itsrecords in accordance with section 8.

DES-SW-SP-12-001

3.05 Outgoing materials - Quantity and Destination Recording Procedures

Similar to the incoming vehicle procedures, all outbound materials aremeasured in cubic yards before exiting. Prior to leaving the site, the truck isstopped and data is collected and entered into the tracking and billingsystem. A ticket is printed that indicates the cubic yards and type of materialbeing transported off site. For recyclable loads, the type and cubic yards ofthe recovered material and information regarding the secondary materialmarket is also recorded.

The RPF facility sends recyclables to authorized facilities for re-use;disposal of recyclable materials in a landfill is avoided. The operatormaintains accurate records of all material transported to authorized disposalfacilities or secondary mater¡als markets located in New Hampshire, or outof state. ïhese records are maintained in accordance with requirementsdescribed in section B and are identified in the DES annual facility reporlwhich RPF prepares and submits for the previous year's operation.

3.06 Storage Time and Capacity Limits and Monitoring Procedures

All incoming materials are actively managed in a manner that minimizes thequantity of non-recyclable material stored on site at any one time to amaximum of 45 tons.

Recoverable materials are separated and temporarily stored either insidethe 5,000 square foot recycling building or outside in roll off containers.Maximum quantity of the processed recyclables material ¡n storage at anyone time is 33 tons.

Pursuant to Env-Sw 405.03(a) and (b), material will not be stored for aperiod of time which results in adverse affects to the environment, publichealth or safety. Furthermore, materials are stored in a manner to permitlocal fire fighting response capabilities in accordance with Env-Sw404.05(d).

Any/all putrescible and other non-recyclables will be loaded into open toptransfer trailers throughout the day and will normally be transported to apermitted disposal facility on the day that it is received a the facility.

When it is not possible to transport the materials to the disposal facilitywithin that facility's daily operating hours, it may be temporarily stored onthe recycling building tipping floor or in a transfer trailer and transferred offsite before producing noticeable odor. ln no case shall the waste be storedgreater that one week of its receipt.

3.07 Collection, Processing, Storage, Transfer and Off-site Disposal

Material will be inspected as it is being deposited on the tipping floor. Theoperations staff will visually inspect the material during the process ofspreading and removing recyclable material to ensure that unacceptablematerials as defined in section 2.2 are not present.

Any unacceptable wastes encountered will be managed in accordance withSection 6.1.6 Contingency plan. All other materials are managed as follows:

3.07(1). Recyclables

Recyclables are segregated and managed according to thefollowing procedures to preserve value. All reasonablemeasures are taken to segregate recyclables form non-recyclables to ensure that they are diverted from landfilldisposal in accordance with Env-Sw 405.04(2).

Recyclables will be stored temporarily (working storage)inside the recycling building (see C-1 Site Plan, subject tominor changes); the materials are ultimately transferredoutside to their respective roll-off containers for storagepr¡or to transport off site.

3.07(2). Masonry & Concrete Products

3.07(3). Metal

Brick, masonry products and concrete are stored in roll offcontainers located outside but near the recycling building.(See Appendix A - Site Plan).

Ferrous and non ferrous metal and wire are separated andstored outside in a roll off container and transported to ametal reclamation facility when the container is full.

Aluminum is segregated and may be processed through thehorizontal baler prior to its transport off site to thereclamation facility. The aluminum is temporarily storedoutside in a roll off container.

Clean wood is stored outside in a roll off container.

3.07(4) Wood

3.07(5) Non-Recyclables

As described in section 3.04, once the recyclable materialsare removed, the remaining materials are handled as non-

Ruggiero Processing f-âcility Operating PlanP.O. Box 434 Revised 7l10l2O1ASaxtons River, VT 05154 DES-SW-SP-12,001

recyclables and temporar¡ly stored in open top transfertrailers, which are covered and secured when properly filledto capacity.

3.07(6) Municipal Solid Waste

MSW will be trucked to the site, durnped on the tippingfloor, and recyclables will be removed. The remainingMSW will then be put into larger dumpsters and hauledto an approved disposal facility.

Section 4.0 Residuals Management Plan

4.01. Type and Quantity of Residuals

RPF generates the following residual materials requiring specialma nagement:

¡ Moisture that may drain out of materials deposited on the tippingfloor.

. Liquids from the trailer loading tunnel. Quantity of liquidsaccumulated will vary depending on the mix of incomingmaterials.

. Non-recyclable materials. Volume will vary depending onincoming materials and respective market opportunities.

4.02. Residuals Management Procedures

The following is a brief description of the methods and procedures used byRPF to address each of the respect¡ve residual streams:

4.02(l ) Moisture from waste

Moisture entrained in the materials is normally absorbed asthe material is spread, separated and compacted on thetipping floor.

On inclement days with significant prec¡pitation, some liquidfrom the material may accumulate on the tipping floor. lf thisoccurs and the volume exceeds that which can be absorbedin the spreading and compacting process, sawdust or otherabsorbent material is spread and used to absorb the liquid.This material is then mixed with the non-recyclable materialand shipped off site for disposal.

Operating PlanRevised 7/10/2014

DES-SW-SP-12-001

The recycling building is equipped with a floor drain and a'1000 gallon liquid holding tank to collect liquids from thetrailer loading tunnel.

The holding tank meets the design criteria of Env-Wm 402of the Permit and Registration Rules, and will be registeredwith NHDES Groundwater Discharge Drinking andGroundwater Bureau. (See Appendix B) lt is equipped withvisual and audio signal alarms, which are activated oncethe level reaches the maximum water depth.

The liquids are emptied on a regular basis and transportedoff site to a local municipal wastewater treatment facility fortreatment and disposal.

4.02(31. Non-recyclable Material

The non-recyclable materials are segregated from theincoming materials and managed as described in Section3.07

4.02(41. General Shop waste

All internally generated waste and/or recyclable material are¡ncorporated into the respective management proceduresoutlines above.

4.03 Waste Disposal

ln accordance with Env-Sw 1105.10, the facility will maintain access to aminimum of two authorized disposal locations (See Appendix C) which arepermitted to dispose of the expected quantity of non-recyclable materials:

o Site One: Keene, NH

. Site Two: Bellows Falls, VT

. Other permitted and authorized facilities, as necessary, to ensurethat non-recyclable material is efficiently processed ihough thefacility.

Similarly, agreements (See attachmenf C) will be maintained at a minimumof two locations for disposal of the liquids from the liquids holding tank:Keene WWTP & Bellows Falls WWTP.

Operating PlanRevised 7/10/2014

DES-SW-SP- 12-001

4.04. Quality Assurance/Quality Control Provisions

RPF and authorized disposal facilities regularly communicate regardingacceptable and prohibited materials. Facility operating staff are tra¡ned inidentification of prohibited materíals; these procedures are followed by allfacility operating staff .

Section 5.0 Facility Maintenance, lnspection and Monitoring Plan

Facility operating and supervisory staff are trained pursuant to Section 7.0. Duringfacility operation, staff are alert to potential situations that may require their immediateattention and to ensure safe operating conditions and prevent adverse situations asnoted in the following sections:

5.01. Spontaneous Combustion

The possibility of spontaneous combustion is limited since incomingmaterials are actively managed and do not include volatile materials. lnaddition, the materials are generally transported off site daily as describedin Section 3.07. Finally, the building is metal framed with a concrete floorand steel siding, designed and constructed to limit the potential of fire.

An automatic fire detector will be installed inside the recycling building,should a fire occur during operat¡ng hours, the owner is immediatelycontacted, and if no answer is detected, the Walpole Fire department isautomatically called to ensure immediate response.

ln the unlikely event of a fire, procedures as outlined in Section 6.01(2) willbe followed.

5.02. Other Fire Hazards

Although unlikely that a "hot" load would be delivered to the facility, alldrivers are encouraged to take immediate action in the event of a fire orother safety concern. All drivers are instructed to immediately contact theRPF office and building attendant so assistance can be provided.

RPF personnel will be prepared for the arrival and manage the load once itarrives. Procedures as outlined in Section 6.01(3) will be followed.

Once controlled, an assessment will be made prior to discharging the loadto determine the immediate need to notify and request assistance from theWalpole Fire Department.

Should a fire occur inside the building, the procedures described in Section6.01(2) will be followed.

Operating PlanRevised 7l1Ol2O14

DES-SW-SP-12-001

5.03. Vector Control

The facility is operated to minimize the potential for vectors. Recycling andtransfer operations occur within the enclosed building. Other than duringinspection and processing on the tipping floor, all non-recyclable materialsare containerized into open top transfer trailers and covered by a tarp uponbeing filled to capacity. Materials are actively removed so that the potentialfor vectors is minimized.

RPF staff will regularly inspect the facility for vectors and will retain theservices of a licensed pest control company to ensure that vectors do notbecome a problem.

5.04. Methane, Hazardous and/or Explosive Gas Generation

Any putrescible material will be removed from the facility before anaerobicdecomposition can generate methane, hazardous or explosive gases.

Hazardous and/or explosive gases are not accepted or managed by thefacility; liquids and gaseous wastes are proh¡bited.

5.05. Odors

The facility operations are conducted inside an enclosed building. lnaccordance with the operating permit, storage capacity and times are limitedas presented in Section 3.07. Since non-recyclable material and MSW aretypically transported off site daily, the potential for odor generation will beminimized. Recyclables are transferred off site as containers are filled.Adherence to the facility operating procedures generally prevents and/orcontrols odor issues.

The facility is located on approxímately 6 acres and operated in a mannerconsistent with applicable NH Solid waste Regulations. Although odorgeneration is minimized, RPF will investigate the potential source in theevent off site odors are detected and, if facility related, adjust operationsaccordingly. (e.9., apply odor neutralizing agents, arrange faster transfer,and check proper load tarping).

5.06. Dust

The majority of on-s¡te travel surfaces are gravel. The areas potentiallycontributing to dust generation are the access road and turn around areas.

The site is located in an isolated area in a part of a former sand and gravelpit. The location provides that impact of dust off site will be minimal.

Ruggiero Processing FacilityP.O. Box 434Saxtons River, W 05'154

Operating PlanRevised 7/ 10/2O14

DES-SW-SP-12-001

5.07. Windblown Litter

Material transfer operations occur within the building.

Most vehicles using the facility will be self contained packers and roll offtrucks. Drivers are instructed to keep loads covered until they reach the turnaround area to reduce the potential for litter generation.

To ensure that liiter is properly managed, facility operational staff willinspect the site daily and collect litter or debris found. This material will beplaced with other incoming material in the recycling building and processedaccordingly.

5.08. Leachate

Section 4.0 Residual Waste management, describes procedures that areused to manage any liquids collected from materials that are processed atthe facility.

5.09. Spill Management

Spills are managed in accordance with Section 6.01(5) Contingency Plan.

5.10. Storm Water Management

Storm water is generally managed as sheet flow from gravel surfaces andultimately infiltrates into vegetated areas.

Storm water from slabs in building will be collected with floor drains andpiped into the holding tank.

Section 6.0 Contingency Plan

The following contingency plan for Ruggiero Processing Facility discusses thepotent¡al emergency conditions, respective likelihood for occurrence andappropriate response to be taken by staff in an event.

Because of the no-toxic, non-hazardous nature of materials received at the RPF,emergencies of any kind are unlikely. Notwithstanding, several precautions andprocedures are in place to assure appropr¡ate responses in the event of a releaseor accident. RPF has designated an Emergency Coordinator and AlternateEmergency Coordinator who assist in managing response activities should any ofthe following emergency situations occur at the facility.

ln addition, RPF has posted emergency phone numbers ¡n the recycling buildingand on the lock box at the main gate.

6.01 EmergencyPlanning

This plan describes the actions to be undertaken in response to thefollowing:

o Severe storm

. Fire/Explosion

. Hot Loads

. Medical emergency

. Chemical spills

. Unacceptable waste

6.01(1). Severe Storm

The operations staff evaluate whether early closure of the facility iswarranted. If the daily operation cannot be completed in time, thebuilding and all vehicles will be shut down and secured untiloperations are safe to resume.

6.01(2). Fire/Explosion

The facility does not store any petroleum or other combustibleproducts; therefore the likelihood of a fire or explosion is low.However, to assure full preparedness, hand-held fire extinguishersare located neat the entry to the recycling building.

The materials unloaded inside the recycling building are managed inaccordance with Env-Sw 404.05(d) (3). Access is maintained at alltimes in the event fire services are necessary.

Water supply in the event of a fire is off site via emergency vehicles.

Site personnel are trained to notify the fire department in the event ofa fire and to use the appropriate fire extinguishers until the firedepartment arrives. A lock box system is provided to ensure that thefire department can always access the building.

Finally, an automatic fire detector alarm will be installed in therecycling building; should a fire occur during non-operating hours, theowner and Walpole fire department are automatically called.

6.01(3). Hot Loads

Hot loads which inadvertently arrive at the entry are managedimmediately by on site personnel with assistance from the WalpoleFire Department (911) if needed. Upon arrival, drivers are instructed

Ruggiero Processing FacilityP.O. Box 434Saxtons Rrver, Vl 05154

Operating P¡ênRevised 7/'10/2014

DES-SW-SP-12-001

to immediately contact the RPF office. An assessment will be madeto determine the immediate need to notify and request assistancefrom the Walpole Fire Department.

After appropriate response actions are taken (as determined on aload specific basis) and the load is determined safe, it is unloadedoutside the south side of the building in the truck turn-around area.The area is gravel, so should there be any smoldering or burningmaterial discharged, it will be extinguished using fire extinguishersand/or on site soil. lf necessary, small amounts of water will also beused to assist in extinguishing any fire or smoldering materials. Oncefully extinguished, facility operators will move the material into thebuilding where it will be loaded into a transfer trailer using standardoperating procedures. The area impacted by a hot load will also becleaned to ensure that no residual material, contaminated soil orwater is left in the area.

I Petroleum from a piece of operating equipment or anyother vehicle on site.

ln the event that a petroleum-based liquid is accidentlyspilled from operating equ¡pment or vehicles using thefacility, it will be immediately contained, absorbentapplied and cleaned up by fac¡lity operating personnel.

For spills greater than 25 gallons (or less than 25gallons if for any reason site personnel are unable toimmediately contain) the fire department will becontacted. Personnel will be isolated from the area.Trained personnel will be asses and determine cleanup required. NHDES will be notified.

ii Unknown subsfance from an incoming load

Facility personnel wifl immediately secure the area andcontact the appropriate local and state personnel andagencies for assistance in determining appropr¡eateprocedures for managing the spill.

6.01(5Xb) Unloading/Loading Area - Recycling BuildingThe RPF recycling building is designed and consiructedto fully contain all spills.

There are floor drains in the tipping floor so that any spillsand/or any accumulation of liquids are contained in theholding tank. These liquids are co-mingled with the non-recyclable materials and/or absorbents. Spill kits, whichinclude speedy dry, other absorbent material, andabsorbent booms are kept inside the building. Theholding tank shall be cleaned and containment sent to adisposal center.

The trailer tunnel floor drain is connected to anunderground storage tank for collection and temporarystorage of liquid. lt is equipped with visual and audiosignal alarms, which are activated once the water levelreaches the maximum water depth.

Accumulated liquid is monitored and periodically pumpedout and transported to a waste treatment facility permittedto treat such liquids.

6.01(6). Unacceptable Waste

lf any unacceptable material is encountered, it is separated and removedfrom the facility by the original hauler. When such material is

DES-SW-SP-12-OO1

encountered, RPF will inform the hauler of other potentially availablefacilities for its management. lf the original hauler is no longer at thefacility or cannot be identified, RPF will assume responsibifity for theproper disposal of the material as required by solid waste and/orhazardous waste rules.

While unlikely, should asbestos-contain ing material be inadvertentlytransported to the facility with C&D debris (e.9., asbestos shingles) it willbe segregated and isolated from ongoing activities. RPF will contactoutside contractors listed in Section 6.02 to manage the material.

Similarly, outside contractors will be contacted to manage any materialthat is suspected hazardous or otherwise requires special handling (anysmall containers of ihese flammable materials will be temporarily storedin a steel fireproof cabinet per the fire department).

Should lead-acid batteries be encountered, they will be managedpursuant to the universal Waste Rule (Env-Hw 1 100) using proceduresdescribed in WMD-HW-lB and WMD-SW-4. They will be managed asfollows:

. Stored on pallets so that their electrodes do not comeinto contact with electrodes of other batteries or metalobjects;

. lf stored in containers, covers will be loose fitting;

. Stored and kept dry;

. Stored away from sources of sparks or flames; and

. Stored so leaking batteries are separated form nonleaking batteries.

These will be periodically transported to authorized battery recyclers orhandlers in compliance with DOï requirements.

Should mercury containing devices (e.9., thermometers, thermostats,switches, relays, etc) be encountered, they will be removed and placedin a small container for temporary storage until transfer off site to anauthorized outside contractor.

All facility operating personnel will receive initial and periodic refreshertraining, which covers at a minimum:

. Acceptable recyclable and non recyclable materials

. Prohibited materials

. The facilities procedures to ensure that identifiedunacceptable material is managed properly.

Section 8.0 Other Closure Permits

No other permits or compliance related activities are required toimplement facility closure.

SectÍon 9.0 Closure Cost Estimate

A closure cost estimate for the RUGGIERO PROCESSING FACILITY wasprepared in accordance with this closure plan and criteria in Env-Sw1403.O2 and included as a part of the closure plan. The following criteriawere used when preparing the estimate.

. An assumption that maximum combined volume of non-recyclableand MSW materials in storage is 45 tons.

. An assumption of a maximum of 100 gallons of liquids are stored inthe liquid holding tank and an additional 500 gallons of rinse waterto clean.

. The liquid holding tank will be left on site.

. Current market rates for having third party per{orm all closureactivities.

o The estimate considers a point in the facilities active life when theextent and manner of operations and compliance with applicablelaws and rules make closure the most expensive.

. The value of on site recyclables was not considered or used toreduce the cost estimate of closure.

. Salvage value from the sale of facility structures, equipment orother assets associated with the facility were not used to reduce thecost estimate of closure.

o A contingency in the amount of 10% of the total itemized costs wasincluded.

The financial assurance plan will include a letter of credit and standby trustagreement in a form previously accepted by the NHDES. Followingapproval of the proposed permit application, the closure cost estimate willbe updated on an annual basis, consistent with current New HampshireSolid Waste Rules.
